­Savage Twister + Astronomer Hermit

X to all (combining earthquake and hurricane), scry1, cantrip, 2/1.

So we've got RGU covered, I guess I'm making something . What should it dooo? Ragu makes stew; what is antistew?

I'm tempted to make scry-X There's a few such for various sources of X, but the simplest possible one doesn't seem to have been done yet. On the other hand; that's out of colour.

Go the other way? Take out the X from a damage spell? Not sure where the is in that... Ah heck, making a very simple drain life variation.

And this feels like the kind of terrible spell you see in a hearthstone-clone. (You know how mtg spawned waves of bad physical CCGs? There are a lot of realllllly terrible virtual ones out there now, too.) So anyway, that's my justificaiton for wording it this way. Because heaven forfend you should ever explain what cards do. No no; you will instead have spells like, I dunno: "Countdown 3; Summon a Holy Tiger". (Countdown is explained - it works the way you expect, cast now, and X turns later it activates - but what is a holy tiger? Is the spell worth casting now or not? Who knows!) (In case anyone ever plays shadowverse; it turns out that a holy tiger was a vanilla 4/4)

Isn't the whole point of a digital cardgame using such phrasin that you get some sort of mouse-over reminder text or little button to explain what those game objects are? Actually even digital MtG has that IIRC.

Yeah, you'd be surprised how bad some of these hearthstone clones get :) That example I gave is literal. "Countdown" gets reminder text when you click on it. (Which you can do only when no animation is playing because why would you want to do sueful things?) But the card it's going to summon for you? Big nope until it's in play.

On the plus side, the tiger has pretty shiny artwork.

Why do you do this Vitenka

Well; my reasoning is given in the flow-of-consciouness initial comment. Also; I was sleep deprived due to heat.

The actual wording might be: ~ deals 1 damage to target creature. You gain 1 life. Draw a card.

(I personally hate the contraction of 'target', so make it target-creature which, honestly, is more likely anyway. This is probably still too good at cmc1, so maybe should be a sorcery?)
